Are there any known examples?

I have a collection of NMEA toys.  I don't remember seeing GPS rollover on 
any of them.  Some of them are quite old, but I don't think any have reached 
20 years yet.

We could test fixup software by setting the system clock ahead far enough to 
look like GPS had rolled over.
